Isaias (Isaiah) 43
43
1AND now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and called thee by thy name. Thou art mine.
2When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee: and the rivers shall not cover thee. When thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt: and the flames shall not burn in thee.
3For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I have given Egypt for thy atonement, Ethiopia and Saba for thee.
4Since thou becamest honourable in my eyes, thou art glorious. I have loved thee: and I will give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5Fear not, for I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.
6I will say to the north: Give up. And to the south: Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory: I have formed him: and made him.
8Bring forth the people that are blind, and have eyes: that are deaf, and have ears.
9All the nations are assembled together and the tribes are gathered. Who among you can declare this, and shall make us hear the former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, let them be justified, and hear, and say: It is truth.
10You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed: and after me there shall be none.
11I am, I am, the Lord: and there is no saviour besides me.
12I have declared and have saved. I have made it heard, and there was no strange one among you. You are my witnesses, saith the Lord: and I am God.
13And from the beginning I am the same: and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who shall turn it away?
14Thus saith the Lord your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon; and have brought down all their bars and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.
15I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters:
17Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong. They lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax and are extinct.
18Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
19Behold, I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily, you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen.
21This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.
22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob: neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
23Thou hast not offered me the ram of thy holocaust, nor hast thou glorified me with thy victims. I have not caused thee to serve with oblations, nor wearied thee with incense.
24Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money: neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins: thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
25I am, I am he that blot out thy iniquities for my own sake: and I will not remember thy sins.
26Put me in remembrance, and let us plead together: tell if thou hast any thing to justify thyself.
27Thy first father sinned: and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28And I have profaned the holy princes: I have given Jacob to slaughter and Israel to reproach.

Isaiah 43
43
1But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2When you pass through the waters I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.
4Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.

Acts 18.10. Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you;
6I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7every one who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
8Bring forth the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
who are deaf, yet have ears!
9Let all the nations gather together,
and let the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to justify them,
and let them hear and say, It is true.
10“You are my witnesses,” says the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am He.
Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me.
11I, I am the Lord,
and besides me there is no savior.
12I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and you are my witnesses,” says the Lord.
13“I am God, and also henceforth I am He;
there is none who can deliver from my hand;
I work and who can hinder it?”
14Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
and break down all the bars,
and the shouting of the Chaldeans will be turned to lamentations.#43.14 Heb obscure
15I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17who brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
18“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
20The wild beasts will honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches;
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
21the people whom I formed for myself
that they might declare my praise.
22“Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
23You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
or honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
or wearied you with frankincense.
24You have not bought me sweet cane with money,
or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins,
you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25“I, I am He
who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins.
26Put me in remembrance, let us argue together;
set forth your case, that you may be proved right.
27Your first father sinned,
and your mediators transgressed against me.
28Therefore I profaned the princes of the sanctuary,
I delivered Jacob to utter destruction
and Israel to reviling.
